impurity

When we are at our worst, it is often because something has deeply hurt us. Hurt people hurt people. But what if the opposite is also true? What if loved people love people? This is the point the apostle Paul is trying to make in Ephesians 5. Paul knows we will never love each other, our neighbors as ourselves, until we know how loved we are. He calls the church, those who follow Jesus, beloved children of God. For those of you who have children in your lives, you know the look on a child’s face when they know they are loved. There is a delight, an ease when a person feels like someone takes a genuine interest in them. A safety that you are in the love and care of someone else. Loved people love people.

In this episode, Kenneth sits down with John Lawrence the Co-founder and owner of Mudhouse Coffee Roasters in Charlottesville, Virginia. John has been creating specialty coffee for 20+ years. In 2014, he and his co-founder became licensed Q graders. They were also Roast Magazine´s Coffee Roaster of the Year, in 2017.

They talk about the specialty coffee movement and how this approach ensures that you get the best from every bean. John also speaks about the new Panamanian specialty coffee farm he is developing with a partner. He provides a fascinating insight into what it takes to source and prepare the land, plant & take care of the coffee bushes and the ecosystem they are growing in. They round off the episode by discussing the new super specialty coffees that are made with experimental varieties and processing techniques.

KEY TAKEAWAYS 

• Specialty coffee is sustainably produced and has a superior cup quality and taste.
• The term 'specialty coffee' has been around since 1974.

• Sustainable coffee farmers take care of the soil and the ecology of the area they are farming.
• Specialty farmers protect and nourish their bushes without using chemical herbicides or pesticides.
• There is more to coffee. More to discover and learn about. Take Geisha coffee for example.

The twentieth sermon in a sermon series on Paul’s letter to the Ephesians, Ephesians 5.1-7.

Sanctification involves putting sin to death. What's involved? I. We must name our specific sins honestly. II. We must treat our sins ruthlessly. III. We must consider our sins soberly. 

"Of the small animals that scurry along the ground, these are unclean for you: the mole rat, the rat, large lizards of all kinds" - Leviticus 11:29 "Do not mate two different kinds of animals. Do not plant your field with two different kinds of seed. Do not wear clothing woven from two different kinds of thread." - Leviticus 19:19. These two verses reveal the obscurity and puzzling nature of Leviticus. This Lent, we'll be walking through the Bible's most difficult book. 

This week we look at the decontamination offering of Leviticus 4 and 5. 

Pastor Luke, Joel Kobosh and Paul Sanders interact with the text discussing the doctrinal and practical implications of the first half of the fifth chapter of Ephesians.

Jesus says, "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God." I. What is the blessing? Seeing God! II. Who may see God? Only the pure in heart. III. How may I have this pure heart, so that I may see God?
